Pot Value and Taper Question

[skypn]

This is probably a newbie question, but the only stupid question is the one you don't ask
Consider this out stage of a blender:

(my apologies if I have violated CR)
My issues with it is this:
I used a 50kB pot, wired backwards in reference of the schematic, pin 1 is now to the right, effects in side, with pin 3 to the left, so as to add blend to the effect, instead of taking it away.
The physical range of motion for the knob is from 7'o clock to 5'o clock.
From 7'o to 1'o, adding clean signal appears to have no effect, at least to my ears.
From 1'o to 3'o is where all the blending of clean signal occurs.
From 3'o to 5'o, its sounds just like pure clean signal, for the most part.
I have two schools of thought at this point. Raise the value of the 560 ohm is series with pot, thinking it will it hit the threshold earlier in the pot's swing. 
Change to taper to an audio, and wiring it backwards may make the taper act sorta reverse audio
(shrugs shoulders) I have pulled all of this this out of thin air. I have no science to support this, that's why I'm asking  
TIA

You could also lower the value of the pot. An log raver would just bunch up at the end or beginning even more.
